How do I put a dot on them?
use shared matches to find out which ancestor they connect to, even if they don’t have a tree
The dot system is going to help me so much!!
Interesting section on using dots to label pairs of ancestors, not just individuals. I did learn several new things.
Always learn something new from Diane. I’m totally going to adopt Kelli’s spreadsheet method!
Always good info from Diahan
WOW! This was the best start for my genealogical year ever! I got many new ideas! Thank you so much!
Excellent presentation with useful tips I can put to work right away.
